yea, well, sue me.

Yea, sure, the car posts have been thick around here with the chopper posts very thin, but hey- I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere Kansas till May, my chopper is waiting for me in Florida with a blown oil pump, and my soon to be daily driver is almost ready for a license plate. Don't worry, I still love choppers, but I'm a man of many different tastes. Just cause I put the Temptations on the player, doesn't mean I don't love Black Sabbath anymore. Besides, you guys love anything period correct, especially when it comes to old photos so sit down, fire up the yesca, and let em soak in.
Jesse Valadez's Gypsy rose....  the 1963 version.

ART Valadez (brother?) 1969 Impala "Wild Orchid"

Id love to say yes, but the blue is starting to come up in spots. Maybe do the roof for fun, but eventually im gonna have to strip it, fix the shotty body work and repaint it all over. Either gonna do full custom paint, or keep it tame with light blue metallic. In due time...

Yup. We be on the INSTAGRAM trend too...
